Document Summary

Harvard school of public health older people with high blood levels of omega-3 ffa"s decreased mortality rates (27%) Decreased rates of heart disease - 35% Lower levels of depression, and protect against alzheimer"s and dementia. Not simply oxidized to co2 + h2 o. Deaminated in liver - - n + s (ammonia) are excreted in urine and feces. Males- oxidize more protein during exercise then females. Still small amount- 5-10% of required energy comes from protein. Looking at pre-post values after 4 weeks endurance exercise. Fat- large increase (35%), wasn"t significant- pre training data was variable- the greater the variability, the more difficult it is to see differences. Protein- wasn"t much variability, was a significant drop in protein at rest. Strength athletes need a large increase in protein intake. Endurance athletes have a high protein intake that is required. Found that the equipment used now is more sophisticated- everything has been underestimated from this study.
